The doors of the Innovation Center at the University of Illinois were open from 9am to Midnight on Saturday, June 27th. Over 100 Drupalers showed up for 3 awesome meals and 15 hours of their favorite CMS. The main attraction was showing off Drupal7 but two separate rooms were utilized for workshops. In one workshop Matthew Lechleider & Sean Charles took a group of Drupal beginners and walked them through the build of a not-so-simple site.
I jus received this promo material for the WebContent Conference, so I'm passing it along. What I really like about this event is that it encompasses many topics and offers something for everyone. Seriously, Duo Consulting has brought in some heavy hitters and Captains of industry to share their knowledge with the attendees. Follow the links and see what it has to offer you.
Last night I had the pleasure of addressing over 2 dozen people who knew nothing about Drupal. OK. 2 of them knew a little, but by and large this crowd was getting their first look at Drupal. The Uniforum-Chicago audience was already in the right mindset since their very purpose is to advance Open System technologies.
I'm in the hotel lobby waiting for the cab to take me to the airport for my 7:30am flight back home to Indy! I took an early flight to get home as fast as possible. I can't stand being away from my family.
At the time of this post, voting closes in about 60 hours!
Doug Vann and Brandon Morrison have submitted a total of 6 sesions for this years DrupalCon.
OK, the title is a bit foreboding. "What happened in 2009 stays in 2009"
I have to say that 2009 ROCKED!
When I look back at my old blogpost that reflects on 2008 I realize quickly that it keeps getting better and better. We end the year with TYLER at age 13, Chloe at 11, Avery at 10, and Alexa at 9!
Family
Mrs. Vann [aka Michelle] continues to homeschool our 4 children. We all crackup everytime she has to explain that she "doesn't work" yet we all know that raising the 4 Vann kids is more than a full time job. Oh yah... She takes pretty good care of Mr.
